Great to meet you!

I am a bilingual/bicultural therapist with 12+ years of experience working with individuals through many life phases. I have served predominately: BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and adults moving through challenging life experiences. Areas I have worked with are: Life transitions, stressors, relationships, family dynamics, identity and queer affirming, anxiety, depression and grief and loss.

My approach to therapy

I meet all people with empathy, understanding, and warmth, through a holistic and mindful approach. Modalities of use often in session are CBT, mindfulness, person centered, Solution-Focused, psychodynamic, emotion focused and narrative and solution focused. Sessions are collaborative and focused on goals you wish to achieve in the therapeutic alliance. We will revisit goals periodically to assure progress is being met and adjust these as needed.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will be spent connecting and gathering pieces of your life story to understand areas you want to focus on during sessions. I will ask several questions and we will go at a pace comfortable to you. You will have an opportunity to ask questions as well.
